Ye Xingguang felt as though Fu Zhuo had slapped her face fiercely. It stung and it hurt, but the humiliation was even worse.

What was most hateful was that Xia Yanyan, sitting beside her, had overheard everything. Ye Xingguang felt Xia’s gaze on her, full of scornful pride. The faint smile on her lips seemed to mock her for her audacity and the derision she had brought upon herself.

“l don’t have any intention to get close to him. Your family treats him like a treasure, but in front of me, he’s nothing!’

Ye Xingguang, her pride wounded, snapped these words before picking up the microphone and leaving. She did not want to stay here any longer and provide any more opportunities for others to trample on her dignity.

If she interviewed Ye Junging, her dignity would surely be crushed.

By the time Ye Xingguang reached the lobby on the ground floor, she could hardly keep her tears from spinning down her face. She couldn’t understand why she was feeling so upset.

Perhaps it was because her beloved brother from the past no longer recognized her… noveldrama

Perhaps it was because Xia Yanyan had sat beside her, laughing at her…

Perhaps it was because Ye Junqing, the big tumor, was too detestable…

In any case, her heart felt clogged.

The more she thought, the more blocked her heart became…

However, she lift her head high and forced back the tears that were threatening to fall. Even if she wanted to let out a tear that day, she wouldn’t at this moment. Ye Xingguangs inner strength was considerable, she wouldn’t shed a tear for Ye Junqing. Did he deserve it?

Just as she was thinking, her phone rang from within her pocket.

Ye Xingguang pulled out her phone to see that it was her adopted father calling from the far-off island.

Swallowing hard, she tried her best to control her emotions before answering the call. Holding back her misery, her voice was cheerful when she answered, “Dad.’

“Xingguang, do you still have enough money?”

A concerned voice came through the phone.

For some reason, the tears that she was working so hard to hold back rapidly welled up in her eyes at the sound of her father’s voice.

She quickly wiped her tears away and tried to pretend to sound at ease, “Dad, I have enough, I really do.”

Each time her father called, the first thing he would ask was this. She was worried that her father would remit her money again.

“You always say you have enough. Do you know how high the cost of living in the capital is? I’ve added five thousand to your card, check if it’s arrived. Make sure you spend more on food, don’t worry about saving money for me. You know your dad has money.”

Ye Xingguang was finding it harder to control her tears. She covered her mouth carefully, afraid to speak, afraid that her voice would betray her emotions.

“Why are you not answering? Your mother asked me to ask you, is the man who got assigned to you treating you well? My precious daughter is amazing; she scored a jackpot! When the civil affairs bureau called your mother to inform her, she was overjoyed for half a day. Also, your mother started following your Weibo. That brat dared to hug you so tightly, is my daughter someone that he can just casually embrace?” Through the phone, her father sounded proud.

Ye Xingguang was stunned. She hadn’t brought this topic up with her parents, but the civil affairs bureau had already informed them?

Suppressing her feelings of injustice, Ye Xingguang pretended to brag happily, “What can I do, dad? Your daughter is so desirable that no one can bear to be bad to me. Don’t believe the media; they’re jealous of my good luck and always fantasize about me being bullied by others. But in reality, he…he really cherishes me.’

Her father laughed heartily over the phone, “Is my precious daughter that amazing?”

“Of course, you should see who raised me. Dad, I’m at work now, I’ll call you when I’m home and let you see how well my partner treats me.”

Having said that, Ye Xingguang swiftly hung up the phone. If she didn’t end the call right then, she would have betrayed the sorrow in her voice that she was struggling to hide..
